Reform thinks its own members are a ’threat’ to them taking power

Many people think Reform UK members are a nuisance, and we now know the party itself is among them: Reform says its own members are its 'biggest threat' in leaked videos https://t.co/cPJOS2xbjv — Reform UK Exposed (@reformexposed) August 13, 2026 “Don’t drink and tweet” As exposed by Byline Times, the leaked videos were part of a training package designed to provide “Excellence Training”. The video contained advice like the following: The fact is, the biggest threat to Reform is people in it and itself. It’s not the Tories, it’s not Labour, the establishment is going to throw everything at us. The…

US is exploiting Venezuela’s disaster to cement its colonial stranglehold

The Donald Trump regime was already getting its way in oil-rich Venezuela after illegally abducting its president in January. But two devastating earthquakes on 24 June gave Trump and his allies a chance to further solidify their colonial stranglehold. And interim Venezuelan president Delcy Rodríguez has seemed all too willing to help. Rodríguez had already been seeking to please Trump since she took charge at the start of the year. But since June’s horrific natural disaster killed over 6,000 people, her subservience to US interests has been even clearer. For example, she has: Withdrawn from the International Criminal Court (ICC) just…

‘I hope the EHRC code of practice haunts its architects’

The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) transphobic code of practice — which recommends organisations that offer ‘single-sex’ spaces and services should exclude trans people — takes effect today. The Canary has already highlighted the problems with the code at length. It’s utterly opaque, non-functional, and a blank cheque to harass trans, intersex and gender non-conforming individuals. This article isn’t about the contents of the code. It’s not even about how this sorry shithole of a queer-bashing country got to this point. Rather, this article expresses a heartfelt wish: that this code haunts its architects within Labour and outside of, in just the…

‘The LUSH Guide to Knot Wrap’ is a radical manifesto and it’s going to change Christmas

When my copy of ‘The LUSH Guide to Knot Wrap’ dropped through my letterbox, I didn’t expect it to entirely change my outlook on Christmas. Weird sentence, isn’t it? But somehow this book managed it. The LUSH Guide to Knot Wrap Did you know that every year, the UK throws away around 227,000 miles of single-use wrapping paper? That is enough bleached, dyed and sellotaped trash to stretch from your living room, all the way to the moon. We buy this crap paper, which is made from felled trees, and it’s covered in metallic inks, making it unrecyclable. We wrap all…

WATCH: “It’s the biggest absurdity” – Lineker calls for Palestine Action de-proscription

Football legend Gary Lineker has today, 29 July 2026, called for the de-proscription of anti-genocide protest group Palestine Action. Lineker: “Biggest absurdity” Speaking to Palestine Deep Dive alongside writer Afua Hirsch, Lineker described the terror ban on the group as “the biggest absurdity”. Lineker derided the state’s targeting of “little old ladies [as] terrorists” and insisted that “these are not terrorist organisations”. Hirsch agreed: “What we’ve become” The pair, speaking to Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq and Hala Hanina, also pointed out the cost and dangers of speaking up for Palestine in a country that is determined to criminalise solidarity. Alnaouq has…

Israel ramps up its exterminationist campaign in the West Bank

There are no limits to “Israel’s” depravity or genocidal campaign against Palestinians. Its “defence” minister, Israel Katz, has now issued orders to the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) to seize another refugee camp in the occupied West Bank and expel its residents. New targets Katz issued the order on 27 July. This was after a security assessment with the heads of the occupation’s military, police, and counterintelligence agency Shin Bet. It is not yet known which refugee camp Katz is planning to capture and demolish. News reports suggest that the takeover will replicate the model previously used in Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur…

Nine Lorry Loads Stolen Every Day in Britain and the Government Still Won’t Give Freight Crime Its Own Police Code

NaVCIS logged 3424 HGV cargo crime incidents in 2025, nine a day across a network that has no dedicated police crime code for any of it. A driver parks a loaded curtainsider at a layby off the A5 because there is nowhere else to stop, and by morning the load is gone. The loss gets recorded as theft from a vehicle, the same category that covers a smashed car window in a supermarket car park. Mike Dawber, a NaVCIS field intelligence officer, put the direct cost at £65.1 million for the year. He also said the real figure would more likely…

Painfully slow decline in animal testing exposes a government dragging its feet

New Home Office statistics have laid bare the true extent of our government’s broken promises when it comes to animal testing and animal rights. Researchers in UK laboratories carried out scientific procedures on animals 2.5 million times in 2025. This is a pathetic 4% decrease from 2024, revealing a government that is failing to meet the expectations of the public it supposedly serves. Despite releasing the Replacing animals in Science strategy in November 2025, the state has still condemned millions of animals to suffer disgusting and painful procedures. We need to transition to modern, humane scientific methods of testing. Now. Animal testing…

Irish government steps up its funding of genocide-backing Palantir

Micheál Martin’s toxic government has doubled down on backing one of the world’s most nakedly criminal corporations, by allowing the Irish Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) to increase its shares in the murderous Palantir. The Ditch reports the following: The Irish Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) held 22,073 shares in Palantir valued at €3.34 million at the end of 2025, according to the National Treasury Management Agency’s (NTMA) annual report published yesterday. ISIF’s annual report for the previous year showed a lower holding of 13,060 shares, for a total of just under €1 million euros. So as Palantir’s appalling activities have become increasingly…

Green Party lays out its manifesto for Greater Manchester

The Green Party has announced its manifesto ahead of the upcoming mayoral election for Greater Manchester after Labour’s Andy Burnham stepped down to run for MP in Makerfield and will likely be the next PM. The party’s bold new manifesto aims to break from Burnham’s model, arguing it rewarded developers, priced ordinary people out of local homes, and funnelled investment into the city centre while leaving surrounding communities underfunded and chronically overlooked. Coggins announced her new plan for change in Hulme alongside party leader Zack Polanski, co-deputy Mothin Ali and Gorton and Denton MP Hannah Spencer, powerfully stating: We need real…

In a show of commitment to ceasefire, Hamas announces dissolution of its civilian governing body in Gaza

The Islamic Resistance Movement, also known as Hamas, has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007, following its takeover from the Palestinian Authority. Over the years, Hamas has established a range of governmental institutions responsible for providing public services, maintaining internal security and coordinating emergency responses during periods of conflict. Hamas has dissolved its civilian governing body in Gaza Among these institutions was the Government Emergency Committee. This has played a central role in coordinating humanitarian assistance, restoring essential services, managing civil defence efforts and supporting government ministries during times of crisis. The committee was intended to ensure continuity of governance and aid…

Israel’s approval of new illegal settlements will further isolate East Jerusalem and deepen its unlawful occupation

Israel’s approval of plans to establish 13 new illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is yet another example of the abhorrent and utter disregard of the international rules-based order by Israel. This forms another troubling development in the rapidly deteriorating situation on the ground in the Occupied Palestinian Territories which calls for urgent and substantive measures by all states. The approved ‘Binyamin’ plan is yet another attempt to further fragment Palestinian territory and isolate East Jerusalem from its surrounding Palestinian communities. It is situated along Route 60, the central north-south artery running through the West Bank that links Palestinian cities,…

Reform UK’s Braverman believes the UK should be compensated for its colonial pillages

Reform UK’s far-right MP Suella Braverman claims the UK should receive reparations for its “investment, effort and contribution” to the colonies. This appalling suggestion came after Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy posted on X about Jamaica making the (long overdue) case for reparations “directly to King Charles”. Apparently, countries that had their resources, wealth, and labour exploited or stolen have no right to reparations, but those who capitalised upon it should be reimbursed because “the British Empire did so much good for the world”. Correction: the British Empire stole an extraordinary amount of wealth from the countries it colonised. It committed numerous…

On 29 June, Tommy Robinson ‘pumped’ a meme coin on behalf of his son. In the aftermath, the coin’s holders began selling off what they had – i.e. ‘dumping’ it. In other words, it looks a lot like your textbook ‘pump and dump’ scheme: Update: The meme coin Tommy Robinson's promoted has now fallen roughly 96%.

Lebanon government signs agreement with Israel in the blood of its own citizens

On Friday, 27 June, in a room at the US State Department, Lebanon’s ambassador to Washington — with zero diplomatic credentials prior to this post — signed her name to a “framework agreement” with Israel. US secretary of state Marco Rubio beamed that it was “the beginning of the beginning.” As usual, in spite of American imperial pomp the ‘agreement’ is not what it appears, as Al Jazeera reported: he agreement does not force Israel to withdraw from the large area of southern Lebanon that it continues to occupy, and Israel also appears to be signalling that it will continue its…

Royal Family to get a 94% surge in taxpayer-funded income whilst ‘it’s subjects’ must expect less

Long-time benefit scroungers, the Royal Family are set for a staggering 94% increase in taxpayer funding through the Sovereign Grant. So, while the rest of us are told there’s no money for public services and everyone needs to tighten their belts, the richest family in the country is about to see its public funding almost double. When doctors and other public sector workers are criticised for asking for pay rises of 5% or 6.6%, it’s hard not to notice a pretty sickening contrast. Apparently, modest wage increases are “unaffordable” — unless you’re already fabulously wealthy. And this comes at the same…

Israel is targeting Palestinian education, even in its prisons

The Palestinian National Prisoner Movement has had a long and proud history. Decades of struggle inside the walls of Israel’s jails and detention centres have seen important advances in basic rights for those incarcerated, including in education. Israel’s tally of abuses against detainees But since the start of the genocide in Gaza, Israeli occupation authorities have reversed and cancelled these gains. Prisoners have been stripped of all their rights by the occupation. Instead, they are systematically humiliated, abused, and tortured. Students of all ages are being arrested and imprisoned by Israeli occupation forces (IOF). These detainees must not only cope with…

The Iran will play its matches in the tournament while based in Mexico, one of the host nations, under restrictions related to entry procedures into the United States, where its group stage matches will take place.

Polanski say it’s Greens VS Labour in Manchester Mayor race

Andy Burnham has won the Makerfield by-election, and that means Labour now has two new races to run: the first is for the position of Labour leader, and the second is for the mayor of Greater Manchester. The first will be restricted to Labour MPs, obviously, but the second will be open to any candidate who can raise the deposit. Such candidates may want to think twice before putting the money down, however, as the Greens are confident it’s going to be a two-horse race between them and Labour: We said it was Greens vs Reform in Gorton and Denton, and…
